PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Sika BlackSeal® T-140 MG

4 mm thick, torch-on, sheet waterproofing membrane based
on APP modified, reinforced bitumen, with slate finish –
Flexible to 0°C

DESCRIPTION
Sika BlackSeal® T-140 MG is a torch-on, sheet water-
proofing membrane that is flexible to 0 °C. It is based
on APP (atactic poly-propylene) modified bitumen, re-
inforced with polyester non woven fabric. It has a slate
granule broadcast surface and the reverse is faced
with a polyethylene film to ease installation works

USES
▪ Waterproofing on flat and exposed roofs

CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
▪ Resistant to ageing
▪ Resistant to weathering with improved durability
▪ Good tensile strength and elongation
▪ High resistance to water vapour (non-vapour per-
meable)
▪ Good dimensional stability
▪ Flexible at low temperatures
▪ Easy to install with the torch-on method
▪ Suitable as top layer for multilayer installations
▪ Not resistant to root penetration
▪ Good resistance to mechanical impact
▪ Must be installed on suitable primed, uniform and
smooth substrates such as concrete and brickwork

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SUBSTRATE QUALITY
Concrete / brickwork / mortar screeds:
Clean, sound and dry, homogeneous, free from oils
and grease, dust and loose or friable particles. Hori-
zontal surfaces must be sloped > 1.5%.
APPLICATION METHOD / TOOLS
The cold applied bituminous primer shall be applied
on the substrate for the first membrane layer as fol-
lowings:
Application by brush, roller, or airless spray. Waiting
time is dependent on the temperature, for the primer
to complete evaporation. (Note: Priming is not re-
quired for the second and further membrane layers).
The membrane is fully bonded to the substrate by the
torch-on method using a gas torch. Unroll and position
the membrane roll with the polyethylene film surface
on the substrate. Roll out half a roll length, heating the
membrane reverse with the gas flame until it melts
the polyethylene film and bitumen mass, and allowing
continuous unrolling. A bead of liquid bitumen must
be visible on the underside of the roll. The torch-on
membrane must be firmly pressed onto the substrate
in order to avoid air entrapment using a special roller
or heavy brush. Repeat this procedure with the
second half of the roll.
All membranes must be overlapped by a min. 100 mm.
The seams must be finished with a roller to prevent
the formation of any gaps or voids.
FURTHER DOCUMENTS
Read the Sika bituminous membranes Method State-
ment before installing the bituminous membranes.
This product shall only be used by installers, skilled
and experienced in the installation of torch-on bitu-
minous membranes.
Avoid damage to previously installed membranes dur-
ing the torch-on of further layers of sheet membrane.
The water tightness of the structure must be tested
and approved after completion of the membrane in-
stallation works according to the requirements of the
client’s specifications.
